Bizmates初級ビジネス英会話 Point 111 ”moonlighting”
初級者向けビジネス英会話 Bizmates for beginners 第111弾は、”moonlighting” です。
皆さまの周りには、副業を持たれている方はいらっしゃいますか？
ヒカとタロウの同僚のタカは、いつも疲れていて眠そうにしています。
そこでヒカがタロウに聞きました。
「タカっていつも疲れていて眠そうだよね。何でだろう？」
「副業でもしているんじゃない？」と答えたい場合、あなたがタロウなら英語で何と言いますか？
” I think he has another job at a different company. He has a second job.?”
（彼は別の会社でも働いているんじゃない？副業をもっているんじゃないかな。）
でも伝わりますが、これだととても長いセンテンスになってしまいます。
そこで、
” I think he’s moonlighting.”
と言ってみましょう。簡潔で自然な表現です。
発音もビデオでチェック！
ぜひこの表現を使ってみてください。
Hello and welcome to this Bizmates for
beginners video series and today's
vocabulary, today's word is "moonlighting." The moon. The light. What does this mean?
We will find out but first let's do our
test.
OK so imagine I'm talking to a colleague.
OK. right right... and then you want to join
the conversation you say... Good! "What's going on?" We're just talking about this new movie
hope you got that. OK let's go into
today's word "moonlighting." So imagine
Taka is our colleague. And Taka is always
so tired. Always sleepy. So I asked Taro:
Taro, why is Taka so tired? He's always
sleepy. And Taro says: yeah I think he has another
job at a different company. He has a
second job. OK, it's kind of a
long sentence. I think he has another job
at a different company. A shorter way to
say this, a very natural way to say this
is like this -- so I say: Hey, why is
Taka so tired? He's always sleepy. And Taro says: I think he's moonlighting.
Very natural! Moonlighting. It means
to have another job at a different
company, OK. Usually at night. OK so maybe
he's working part time, I don't know. In a convenience store or doing
construction work to get extra money we
call that
moonlighting. OK, let's look at pronunciation. I think he's moonlighting. Just like that.
I think he's moonlighting. You try... Good. OK with my question: Why is Taka always so tired?"
I see. OK.
For homework next time, I will ask you "Why is Taka always so tired? And you say... I think
he's moonlighting. OK please remember
this and we will see you next time.
Thank you.
